Overview

• London’s Metropolitan Police said 47 additional suspects from a 19 July demonstration have been charged by post, bringing prosecutions tied to Palestine Action support in the capital to 114 with court dates set for 27–28 October at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
• Counter-terrorism officers carried out dawn raids arresting five Defend Our Juries spokespeople on suspicion of encouraging support for a proscribed organisation under section 12 of the Terrorism Act, with Tim Crosland and law student Paddy Friend among those detained.
• Defend Our Juries says more than 1,000 people have pledged to hold signs stating “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” on 6 September, and organisers intend to proceed with coordinated actions across the UK.
• Briefings to participants encourage non‑violent civil‑disobedience tactics such as refusing street bail and “going floppy,” aiming to strain police processing after earlier mass arrests during August actions in Parliament Square.
• The Met warned that displaying support for a proscribed group risks arrest and prosecution, noting potential penalties for section 13 offences of up to six months’ imprisonment, while Amnesty International condemned the latest arrests and a judicial review of the proscription is scheduled for the autumn.
